What You Can Do Proactively Against Ticks
By now, I hope all of you are going natural with your flea and tick preventatives. If not, check out my website and “search” for those words to get reasons you should avoid the traditional products AND ways to use nutrition and essential oils and herbs to deter these pests! https://welloiledk9.com
But I often have people tell me their enviornment is just too overrun with ticks or that they are avid nature hiker’s in environments they can’t control. I still say appy the protocols we teach on the website — but you can take an extra step.
Olive Leaf Extract
Did you know…
Most people wait until they find a tick to start thinking about prevention.
But by then… exposure has already happened.
Here’s the smarter play: support your dog before tick season hits.
Using olive leaf extract seasonally (spring + summer) can help:
Support your dog’s immune system before exposure
Reduce bacterial load if a bite does occur
Slow down early replication of unwanted microbes
Why this matters:
Tick activity spikes in warmer months
Not every bite is obvious
And not every issue shows up right away
So instead of reacting…
You’re building resilience ahead of time.
Simple way to think about it:
Start early → stay consistent → support the body
Begin in early spring
Continue through peak summer
Olive leaf is stronger than people think. It’s not just a gentle “add-on”—it has real antimicrobial activity, which means more is not always better.
